A laminated transaction card may comprise a core layer comprising polyethylene, a first support layer including polyethylene terephthalate glycol coupled to a first surface of the core layer by a first adhesive layer, and a second support layer including a polyethylene terephthalate glycol coupled to a second surface of the core layer by a second adhesive layer. At least one metal layer may be deposited on one or more of the first support layer or the second support layer. At least one print layer formed on an outer surface of the support layer, the at least one metal layer, or both. At least one overlaminate layer may be interconnected to the at least one metal layer.

Recovered plastic cards

An inlay for a laminated transaction card may include a core layer including at least about 50% recycled polyethylene by weight. The inlay may include a first support layer adhered to a first surface of the core layer by a first adhesive layer positioned between the first support layer and the first surface of the core layer. A material of the first support layer may include one of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, or polyethylene terephthalate. The inlay may include a second support layer adhered to a second surface of the core layer by a second adhesive layer positioned between the second support layer and the second surface of the core layer. A material of the second support layer may include one of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, or polyethylene terephthalate.

A laminated transaction card may comprise post-consumer polyethylene with a thickness of at least 30% of a thickness of the laminated transaction card. A first polymer-based layer comprising polyvinyl chloride is coupled to a first surface of the core layer by a first adhesive layer. A second polymer-based layer comprising polyvinyl chloride is coupled to a second surface of the core layer by a second adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer comprise an adhesive formulated to bond the post-consumer polyethylene and the polymer-based layers.

A laminated transaction card may comprise a core layer comprising post-consumer polyethylene, a first support layer comprising polyethylene terephthalate glycol coupled to a first surface of the core layer by a first adhesive layer, and a second support layer comprising polyethylene terephthalate glycol coupled to a second surface of the core layer by a second adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer may comprise an adhesive formulated to bond the post-consumer polyethylene and the support layers.

An improved data bearing card includes a card body, personalization data unique to the data bearing card, and non-visible production indicia, separate from the personalization data, disposed on the card body and indicative of production-related information not otherwise provided on the data bearing card. The non-visible production indicia may be indicative of a corresponding piece of production equipment and/or an operator thereof utilized in connection with the data bearing card, or of a location of a corresponding region of a sheet assembly from which the corresponding card body was separated during production, or of other production-related information. The non-visible production indicia facilitates remedial action in the event that a defect or near-defect is found in the card body or other components of the data bearing card, and may otherwise facilitate card tracking during the production process.
